Chant Avedissian was born in Cairo in a family from Izmir who fled the Armenian Genocide. He studied at the School of Art and Design in Montreal and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, where he was exposed to a variety of influences and trained in multiple techniques, notably printmaking. In the early 1980s, he worked in Cairo with architect Hassan Fathy for the Aga Khan Foundation. From the 1990s, he became known for his stencil drawings based on the popular culture of Egypt in the 1950s and 1960s with celebrities such as Umm Kulthum and Leila Murad. Avedissian’s Icons gained worldwide recognition and were acquired by prominent collections, including the British Museum and the National Museum of African Art in Washington. One of his Umm Kulthum compositions is featured on the cover of Saeb Eigner’s acclaimed book, Art of the Middle East, published in 2010.
